Swipe Halo Value price pinned at Rs. 6,990

Swipe Halo Value

Swipe has launched its pocket-friendly Halo Value tablet in India priced at Rs. 6,990. If we were to take the company’s word seriously, this is the foremost 2G tablet which has been optimized for the earlier edition of Android Jelly Bean and at the same time, allots space to a second SIM port.

Speaking of the OS which powers the device the official website seems to display some sort of inconsistency, listing out Ice Cream Sandwich as the pre-loaded platform once, and version 4.1 Jelly Bean the next moment. Measuring 7 inches, the device comes with a full capacitive multi-touch screen packing a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.

Back

In order to capture images and record videos, users can rely on a rear-mounted 2MP camera, while a front-facing webcam facilitates live face-to-face conversations over Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The slate moreover stands to be home to a processor clocked at 1.5GHz and backed by 512MB of RAM.

Knowing the need for hoarding content, the manufacturer grants 4GB of internal storage capacity. Over and above this, a microSD card slot reserving a spot on the slab’s chassis, sanctions an expansion of around 32GB, lest the in-built memory should fall short. The attribute that the OEM keeps bringing to our notice is Face Unlock which permits access to the functionalities of the device by detecting the face of the user.

Voice Calling

Even though the manufacturer confirms the Swipe Halo Value release, it can only be seen posted on Infibeam as well as eBay. So anyone who is eager enough to buy it immediately can knock on the doors of the aforementioned e-retailers, only to find the slate pegged at Rs. 6,999 instead. Additional slabs introduced by the company include the tabX74S, the Float tabX78 and the ICS-driven Legend amongst other such 7 inches devices.
